They want him as UN General Secretary when this training program is over.

UN General Secretary?

Naaahhh. . . they want him to Rule The World, be the world's dictator (for our own good, don't you know).

It would be appropriate for him to win the Special Olympics Nobel Prize for bowling.

If the Nobel Peace Prize were legitimate, George W. Bush would have received one.

The fact that Ronald Reagan never received one, and Yasir Arafat has, completely renders worthless the Nobel Peace Prize.

My point exactly.

The two men who deserved the Peace Prize because they accomplished much to make the world more peaceful, did not win the Nobel Prize.

People who have made the world immeasurably more dangerous (Arafat, Carter, and now Obama), are being awarded for it.

To the left right is wrong and wrong is right. It's unbelieveable.

Some may be missing the real potential here...That it is time
for Obama to move into the Super Dave Osborne/Evel Kenievel
level of competition.
He needs to be setting his sights on the Snake River Canyon and
various motorcycle stunt jumps. He's in a pay-per-view category now...
Carnival and circus daredevilry.

In other news, Harvard has selected an incoming freshman with pretty good SAT scores and exceptional letters of recommendation as this year’s valedictorian.

The Peace Prize jumped the shark when they gave it to Gore

Actually they did triple lindies over the shark when they denied the award to Ronald Reagan, even after he knocked down the Berlin Wall and freed half the globe from the slavery of Soviet communism.

All without firing a shot.

To even nominate him after only 12 days on the job was a joke. To actually award the PP to him destroys any pretensions of credibility/relevance the Nobel committee may have had left.

To make matters WORSE, CNBC is reporting now that King Ray Ray is going on TV @ 10:30 E to TALK about winning the Nobel.

We know that this is payback against Bush. We know that the European socialists love the fact that the American Prez is a socialist pacifist. Thus the Prize. A support, a prompter, a momentum builder the Prez said in his acceptance speech just minutes ago. Momentum to give him cred to push his leftist agenda.

The award of this year’s Nobel peace prize to President Obama will be met with widespread incredulity, consternation in many capitals and probably deep embarrassment by the President himself.

"Probably deep embarrassment?" Where has this guy been for the past 9 months? Why in the world would this embarrass someone as narcissistic and arrogant as Obama?

I too thought it was satire.

White guilt even exists in Europe, I guess. The Nobel program must have its own affirmative action plan in place.

He doesn’t need to lobby for the prize - he already won.

Exactly!

It will forever be, henceforth, the Nobel Putz Prize.

You assume right. And the idiots in charge of awarding this phoney peace prize gave away what side of “”peace”” they were on way back then.
